Here's a list of my starting points that have been sittin' around lookin' for a good home. Maybe they go in the section "easy places to start"

Screen Readers

1. JAWS • Mac (non-intel)
   • Users of older Macs will need Virtual PC (http://microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx) or a real PC to run JAWS
2. JAWS • Mac (intel) – you’ll need one of the following VM(virtual machine) software installed plus a Windows OS Installation Disk.
   • Boot Camp → http://apple.com/support/bootcamp
   • Parallels → http://parallels.com
   • Fusion → http://vmware.com/products/fusion
   • VirtualBox → http://virtualbox.org

I just started reading through Pro HTML5 Accessibility by Joshue O Connor and it is good so far - may want to add that to the list of books.

This is a great idea! @grayghostvisuals, do you want to start creating the actual page or should we keep it in this issue until it's more finalized.

[grayghostvisuals]

@mattmcmanus Feel free to jump in and start creating the actual page 👍.
I'm currently working on a feature branch called feature/checklist which has my attention at the moment. I'd start this as another feature on a branch feature/name_of_feature.

I'll keep this issue open for any further discussions/questions until the page is complete. 😄

@mattmcmanus I'll get started on this page. I'm thinking kind of an "All Top for A11Y" sorta thing.

btw about 1/2 of my notes were taken from Zeldman's book because father knows best. The other stuff was just general research. Feel free to pick and choose from it and of course add, add, add.
